FZK-INE Beamline
| Main | Beamline | Access | Contact persons |
The INE-Beamline (INE-BL) at the synchrotron source ANKA dedicated to actinide speciation investigations related to nuclear waste disposal as well as applied and basic actinide research.
The INE-BL is presently being commissioned and will begin operation in 2005. Experiments on non-fissile nuclides with activities up to 106 times the limit of exemption inside a safe and flexible containment concept will be possible. The INE-BL exists and must be adhered to.
The INE-BL is designed to be a a multi-purpose beamline (see Table), with emphasis on X-ray spectroscopic investigations. The available energy range covers key energy regions of interest for investigations of actinides (L3 edges ~16 – 20 keV) and lanthanides as their homologues (L-edges ~5.5 – 11 keV).

Beamline specifics
- Photon energies from the K edge of S (2472 eV) to the Rh K-edge (23220 eV).
- Compact Lemonnier-type double crystal monochromator (DCM) built at the PI-Universität Bonn, allows fast crystal changes.
- Four pairs of crystals are presently available, Si(111), Si(311), Ge(220), and Ge(422).
- Sample positioners / goniometers and auxillary slits for standard XAFS and surface sensitive GI-XAFS.
- 5-pixel solid state detector (Canberra-Packard Ultra-LEGe) available.
- Collimating and focusing mirrors for a sub-mm beam dimension at the sample position. Auxiliary µ-focusing planned (e.g., by refractive or diffractive optics).
- Sealed media feed-through chicanes and separate ventilation / filter system for experimental hutch.
- Access to experimental hutch through lock-room with hand/foot-contamination monitor.
